Day 27: I Ought To Give You A Piece Of My Heart...

Our days are much happier when we give people a piece of our heart instead of a piece of our mind.  There are so many things that I think of to say to people.  Many of them are things that I believe that they need to hear, but I know will cause tension in the relationship. 

I remember a story that my father told in a sermon when I was around 12 years old.  He talked about a military guy that wanted to share the gospel with the other soldiers, but knew he couldn’t just tell people about God.  So, he decided to perform daily acts of kindness to demonstrate the love of God instead.  He would shine people’s boots, make sure that their bunks were in great order, and just do nice things for them.  There was one person that would spit on boots that he had shined, push him around, and tell him how stupid he was.  This mean person didn’t want to hear what the young man had to say.  Every day, the man who shared a piece of his heart simply did what he knew he was there to do.  He demonstrated kindness and showed love.  Instead of telling him what an awful person he was, he just loved him.  It took six weeks of being nice without expecting anything in return.  But one day, the man broke down and accepted Christ into his heart.

The story reminded me that what people really need is a piece of our hearts, not a piece of our minds.  When we give people negativity, negativity returns to us.  When we give people love, love not only returns to us, but it grows for others to experience as well. 

So, even though you may not reap the rewards of sharing your heart today, the rewards will come.  You are planting seeds of joy in the lives of others when you share your heart instead of your mind.

To Your Success!
